Okay your sick of the disclaimer, but please understand I’m really not on Facebook, this is an automatic feed from RSS Graffiti.
Well it’s just shy of one week of being off Facebook. It’s not as hard as I thought it might be. I have filled the time, with many other things. In some ways, it’s freeing. I don’t feel as if its one more thing on my to do list.
An organizational specialist I know, once told me to make a list of things to do. This way you can check off things on that list and see how far you’ve come. Another person suggested to write your goals down, to make them more real. These lists have done more for me, than you would think.
Since this is a faith and the average person blog, I’m sure your asking; “what does all this have to do with faith?” Let me begin with giving up Facebook for lent. When I decided to do this I didn’t think, I really could. But I had faith that God would help me through it. The list idea seemed crazy, but faith is when God puts people and ideas in your life, to make you the person God wants you to be.u
I believe, that God is filling my time, so I don’t notice that I didn’t go on Facebook. Each day, brings me ideas of what needs to be done, how important each item is. So I’m busy, but in a good way. I have also picked up a schedule to read the New Testament during lent. So in place of air time, I’m getting book time.
A friend recently said she drove by a church who’s sign read something along the lines of put Facebook down, and pick up the real book. She immediately thought of me. Now who knew that someone, other than family, would think of me out of the blue. I don’t know, maybe I could inspire someone else!
I have no idea where I’m headed, but I am learning to get through one day at time. I’m doing my best to follow Gods path. Sometimes I take the wrong turn, but I’m always gently pushed in the right direction.
